• Satellite A300-1J1: cannot use F8 to start the HARD drive recovery process

  I just brought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-1j1, and at the same time got the upgrade to Vista Ultimate disk at the same time.

  Straight out I went to a sweet upgrade to Ultimate, which failed, and restored in Premuim laptop.

  Stupidly I immediately then a hard install to ultimate who "worked", but of course the drivers to run the laptop has not been installed, I decided to go back to factory settings and try to get Ultimate again once.

  However to use F8 at startup is does not give me the option to restore, and since, I've learned that I should do a set of recovery discs, which I did not.

  Installation, the data is still on the disk 'E', so is anyway I can always use it to make these discs or what should I do?

  Thank you for your help,

  It's your biggest mistake.
  > Installation, data are still on the 'E' drive, is it so in any way I can still use it to make these discs or what should I do?
  There is nothing you can do to create recovery DVDs. If you want to have the original recovery DVD you must buy it.

• Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

  I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

  The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

  BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

  WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

  Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

  Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
  Be careful about this.

• Satellite P300 - 20 H - what should I do after HARD drive recovery?

  Hello

  I just picked up my Satellite P300 - 20 H, using HARD drive recovery,

  Any ideas as to what I should do now? Laptop backed up, HDD Recovery wiped and returned the laptop to factory default. What should I do now? I never wiped a laptop or a PC before. I did the restore via the HARD disk and all came back when I got the laptop almost 2 years ago but now I have 108 updates to windows, and my Toshiba Tempro does not work.
  I have to update all the drivers on the laptop and if so, how do I know what needs to be updated and how can I do this?

  I went to the Toshiba site and he gave me a list of the drivers available for my particular model but I am not sure how much of these driver updates, I need to actually download and update.

  If someone could help me it would be really appreciated.
  I would be delighted if someone could just explain to me, because I don't know anything about pc / laptop and just want my laptop back to power. So that everything works correctly. I read in the section of the conductors, on toshiba.com that not all windows service packs must be downloaded not all work along the coast Toshiba laptops. So im stuck if I have to download and install updates Windows 108 that are required to be installed also.

  Hope someone can help out me.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey,.

  I m wondering about your question: it seems that you have made the recovery of HARD drive but you didn t know what HDD recovery not right?
  As you have noticed, it will restore your computer back to factory settings. You have the same settings that you have purchased. It is therefore useful if Windows doesn t start more or you want to reinstall Windows.

  You can use your laptop as before: there is no difference. All Windows updates should be installed, that's very important because they are security updates day and you help protect your computer. So, start Windows updates and follow the installation.

  Site Web de Toshiba driver updates aren't important, only when you notice problems. If this isn't the case, you can forget the driver updates. ;)

• Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

  I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

  > I formatted my PC and install XP

  No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

  So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

  You must press F8 after turning on laptop. Then choose fix my computer, then choose recovery Toshiba.

  By the way; Why you didn t create a recovery disk? It is strongly recommended in case something goes wrong with your HARD drive.

• Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

  Hi guys.

  I have a question.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
  Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
  After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

  My question is this.
  Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

  Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
  I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

  The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
  Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

  All suggestions are welcome!
  Thank you for your time.

  OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
  This article was really helpful:
  http://www.techplat.com/2010/02/12/how-to-replace-default-Windows-7-recovery-environment-in-diagnostic-and-recovery-toolset/

• Satellite L650-11F - how to access HARD drive recovery?

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-11F.

  The other day I had a huge massive Goner virus (lol) and the computer is turned off. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it started to load Windows, and then restart. I tried to start Windows in safe mode but the same thing happened, just keep restarting. I tried to repair Windows (by pressing f8 and etc.) and without success, he kept restarting.

  So I tried to put it because it came from fabric and when I press 0 or F1 happears just 2 options: choose an opperating system to start or press tab to select a tool: Windows 7 tools: Windows memory diagnostic

  Can you help me please? Is there another way I can access the hidden hard drive recovery partition? Please :(

  Hi dakova,.

  Ist it Toshiba's original OS is still installed? I ask this question because it of necessary for the recovery of HARD drive. If you have installed another OS, you can access t HARD drive recovery option.
  In addition, recovery of HARD drive option is available if you press the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer. The exact procedure is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  Alternative, you can take the Toshiba recovery disc. This will also restore the original settings. :)

• Satellite A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

  Hello, this my phone trees.
  I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
  Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
  PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
  QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
  Thanks in advance.

  More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

  Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
  You've misunderstood with username and account.

  Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
  Now, you have two options:
  -to order the new recovery DVDs or
  d ' use the clean install of the OS.

  What do you think of this?
  To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

  I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

  If you have more questions or need help please let me know.

• Re: No HARD drive recovery on Satellite S995D-S5374 area

  I can't do a recovery disc, it says that there is no HDD Recovery area.

  The situation was like that, I wanted to decrease the size of the C drive. I did it with a program and then windows could not start and went to do so more and more.

  I used a different windows installation disc 8. I used the reset option. And the computer started as if it was just a box, the only difference was that my files were intact and also my account on win8. Although scores are one in trouble.

  Now, it looks like this:

  I can not access the half of my hard disk space. There is recovery partition as you can see, but I can not burn a recovery disk...

  I tried to do what he says here (opening the HARD drive recovery process), but it failed. I get the screen where it says
  my pc need to be repaired and nothing was found or can not be found to achieve this.

  Yes, guyes, * please help *. I want my rear disc space and if it is possible to make a recovery disk. As I can access the recovery partition in my computer, can't do a drive recovery here?

  p.s. in disk management, when I right click on the partition "Data", it is said that 'Help' and nothing more.

  p.p.s. I Satellite S995D-S5374. And there was no disk recovery with it when I bought it.

  In recent years, Toshiba doesn't offer recovery discs with new models of laptops with recovery media must be created by the owner of the laptop. It is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

  Recovery media can be created if the laptop has only factory settings. As I see that you have changed the structure of the partitions and that was the big mistake. Of course you can do, but at the first recovery media must be created.

  Please read the last post on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=140985

  Sorry, but now you cannot create recovery media or start HARD recovery disk image installation.
  If you want to have the recovery disk and use it to recovery image installation, you need to order a new drive for https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.
